The Language of God: A Scientist Presents Evidence for Belief
In short, Dr. Collins provides a satisfying solution for the dilemma that haunts everyone who believes in God and respects science. Faith in God and faith in science can be harmonious -- combined into one worldview. The God that he believes in is a God who can listen to prayers and cares about our souls. The biological science he has advanced is compatible with such a God. For Collins, science does not conflict with the Bible, science enhances it.
For many years Dr. Collins kept his views largely to himself, as he helped oversee the Human Genome Project's stunning sequencing of the code of life. Now, in what may be the most important melding of reason and revelation since C. S. Lewis's Mere Christianity, Dr. Collins explains himself in detail. The Language of God makes the case for God and for science. Dr. Collins considers and rejects several positions along the spectrum from atheism to young-earth creationism -- including agnosticism and Intelligent Design. Instead, he proposes a new synthesis, a new way to think about an active, caring God who created humankind through evolutionary processes.
He has heard every argument against faith from scientists, and he can refute them. He has also heard the needless rejection of scientific truths by some people of faith, and he can counter that, too. He explains his own journey from atheism to faith, and then takes readers on a stunning tour of modern science to show that physics, chemistry, and biology can all fit together with belief in God and the Bible. The Language of God is essential reading for anyone who wonders about the deepest questions of all: Why are we here? How did we get here? And what does life mean?

Recovering Creationist endorsement
Dr. Collins does a wonderful job of laying out the issues and arguments from both sides in very clear, understandable and compelling fashion. A must read for anyone interested in finding common ground in what shouldn't be a raging emotional debate.

Unconvincing disappointment
Dr. Collins' scientific credentials are impressive, but this book is just not convincing. I lost my (tenuous faith) in 2006 after reading a variety of atheist books like The God Delusion and Letter to a Christian Nation. I decided to give a...

If you believe in God and in Science you should read it
Great work from Francis S. Collins showing us how science and God are not in opposite paths. A very simple way to talk about complex things.

For those God skeptics
Excellent read especially for those who are skeptical about the existence of God. This is written by a scientist in total objectivity. Really good for the ongoing debate.
